Born November 8, 1896, in Port Jervis, New York, was Baseball Hall of Fame Second Baseman and Manager Bucky Harris. This legend played for the Washington Senators for ten seasons, even helping them to claim the 1924 World Series crown as a player/manager, and then spent his final two years as a member of the Detroit Tigers. His career batting average was .274, and he batted in 508 runs in the MLB. Harris stayed in baseball as a manager, and it was this part of his career that got him into the Hall of Fame after 29 productive years on the job as he not only won World Series glory in '24 but also helped the New York Yankees to the title in 1947 as their skipper.
